i still get nervous when ihave to go for my pap, now i m down to once a year after i had my hysterectomy for my cervical cancer in 2008, i had to go every 6 months for 3 normal paps and i still sweat it out till i get the results,
I say thats what I get for not going to GYN for 20 years

Everything came back clean. So relieved.
Some days your the dog and some days your the hydrant.
Main focus of this meeting are topics as they relate to post-ops, so please come by and share your WOW moments, as well as whatever else is on your mind.
The Place: 280 Middletown Boulevard, Langhorne, PA 19047
The time: 7 p.m. until approximately 8:30 p.m.
If you are celebrating a surgiversary, please bring any props (clothes worn prior to WLS, pictures), you will get 5 minutes to share what it was like, what it is like now and what you look forward to.
We have a nutritionist at every meeting and while all are welcome to attend our support groups, nutritional consults cannot be given to non-Barix patients, but if you feel in need of support we welcome you!
We recognize that there are times when babysitting might be an issue, however, we really would appreciate not having small children there, as there are times people have a need to discuss things that having a small child there inhibits their ability to discuss things openly and also the children often are a distraction. Thank you for your understanding.
Hope to see you there!

Yes I cried because they finally tied the knot. My new son in law and I connected on the same wave yesterday and it was awesome and I am happy for the both of them.
Today, we celebrated my one grandson's 6th birthday (his b-day was on the 12th)...
OF all this, I survived seeing my ex husband. He told me he was proud of me for doing what I am doing to get healthy. We had a little talk and made amends... His current wife and I got along great.
NOW to get back to basics for I fear I gained 10 lbs this weekend... Woe is me for I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo bloated..... but it was well worth it.

I also couldn't afford to buy clothing that was going to be too large the following month, so I know where you're coming from. A couple suggestions...
First, as I lost weight, what I couldn't give away to folks here or others I knew, I would offer on FreeCycle. Someone would scoop them up almost before I finished typing my ad! So, you might put an ad there asking for clothing in the sizes you want.
Second, try thrift shops. They're everywhere and you can find some fabulous deals - even designer names, for pennies or just a bit more.
Good luck to you!
